My main machine is a laptop (15" MacBook Pro). It works well for school (although something smaller, i.e., a 12" PowerBook, would be better), and I love being able to take it anywhere in the house. Unfortunately, said laptop only has a 160 gb hard drive, which doesn't work well when you have...

Band: Kim Capri Album Title: You Must Undergo It. Cover:

I definitely think One Hot Minute by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is an incredibly underrated album. The combination of Dave Navarro's guitar style, Flea's backing vocals, and Anthony Kiedis' lyrics about descending into a secretive drug-induced depression is just mind-blowing. It's depressing...

In "Last Night" by Motion City Soundtrack, the bridge goes: "My body aches, it heaves, it shakes All somersaults through so-called art And I still don't know exactly who I am I never will, amen." The way the whole song is... it's kind of a slower, more depressing version of "Sound of...

As has been mentioned many times over, Sea Change and Blond on Blond are pretty much the quintessential albums here. For anyone going through a break-up, I highly recommend Motion City Soundtrack. "Last Night", off of the album Even If It Kills Me, that song just makes me want to bawl when I...

So far this year I've been to the Houston 100 and Buzzfest XXI (both local festivals). At Buzzfest, Billy Talent and Story of the Year were freaking amazing. My Chemical Romance was kind of disappointing though... I've seen them five times (Buzzfest included) and they were obviously just...

It used to be a huge deal to me. After finding out how big of a prick Axl Rose is, I stopped listening to Guns N' Roses, and any bands/ solo projects involving people who came in to the band after he pretty much forced out Slash and Duff. Then I came to the realization that the music is...

So my friend Andrew came to me with a conundrum: he wants wireless, in-ear headphones for his iPod. The only ones I could think of were the Ety8's and these Panasonic's, which are both a bit out of his price range. Can anyone find any cheaper that have an included and/or available iPod...

Just mustard. If I'm actually in Chicago, I'll have it Chicago-style, because it just seems like no one else can get it right (the same way I feel about deep dish pizza- unless I'm in Chicago, it's not worth trying). Ketchup in and of itself isn't that bad, it just seems kind of nasty on a...

I'm going for the Limited Edition, but I honestly don't think any vinyl is worth that much of a jump in price.

I don't mean to thread-hijack here, but does anyone know how to play FLAC in iTunes?

I'd say "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance. There's a few reasons: 1) It's meaning is incredibly powerful, and the song says it rather explicitly, yet subtly at the same time. 2) Where it's placed on the album/ live. The song comes after an acoustic ballad ("Disenchanted") that is...

Chocolate City- Parliament

Charlie Bartlett (2008) 8/10 Freaking hilarious. It's one of the most ridiculous (and true) films about high school I've seen in a while. It's the story of an over-privileged kid, Charlie, who gets thrown out of every private school his mother (his father is in jail for tax evasion) can...
